βucharest Urban League of photographers for the Balkans

This series is trying to overturn discreetly and emotionally the percept what we have about the funny universe of the nomad circuses. This is the absurd place where the Lion King lives in one messy rusty cage, the strongest man of the world sleeps in the smallest bed of one oldtimer motorhome, the queen of the show hang clothes between the cords of the circus tent.

"The clown laughs - the world laughs, the clown cries - the world laughs, The clown dies - the world laughs " says a cliché, breaking into a few words the whole life of these characters from this colorful crazy community.” (Photos and text: László-Tibor Olah)

BULB vision

What is?

The Bulb Collective consists of photographers active in urban (and rural) photography with an expressive shift to include highly aesthetic and poetic images in their assignments.

They share the same vision but not the same perspective which gives the necessary "polyphony" in their extremely ambitious endeavour to cover all the aspects of the Balkan neorealism.

Their visual signatures aspire to create iconic images and to be the best in metamorphosing and interpreting all aspects of life in this highly contradictory and fascinating part of the world.
